Outdoor Adventuring

When it snows in April, you just have to make the best of it! Hudson and Sadie have been begging to go outside every day this spring, so we’ve had lots of fun outdoor adventures. Last week we suddenly got an unexpected snow storm….but we still had fun. Getting outside is so important for the kid’s health…and my healthy and sanity too! We don’t let the cold keep us down! I can do anything with my Ergobaby Omni 360 Cool Air Mesh baby carrier….and Belle is always up for an adventure too! This post is in partnership with Ergobaby.

Living in Michigan the weather is always so unpredictable, but we don’t let it stop us from having fun outside. My kids need to be active and move around a lot, otherwise they get overly hyper and excited and either destroy the house or drive me crazy! So getting them outside is a must. I’m always trying to get them outside…..and getting all of their snow gear on and off is a workout in itself!

One of Hudson’s favorite activities is exploring the woods. He loves to look for deer tracks, acorns, rocks, and “treasures.” And Sadie is just along for the ride. She wants to do whatever Hudson does.

And Belle can’t be left out either! Even though we have snow, I love the days like this where it is warm enough to play outside without freezing!

One of my friends pointed out that my kids play really well together. I am SO thankful for that! I really hope they always have fun together. I’m trying my best to help foster a great relationship between them and I think it’s paying off. Hudson LOVES to be the “biggest” so he really thrives when he’s able to help his little sister with something or teach her something. He’s constantly teaching her new things and it is my FAVORITE!

He’s growing up way too fast. It’s really not fair.

And so is this girl. I’m cherishing these moments with my kids as much as I can.

Being home and able to play with my kids all day is such an amazing blessing. I really don’t know what I would do without them. Making memories with them is the BEST. I love being hands-free and able to explore with the kids thanks to my Ergobaby Omni 360 Cool Air Mesh baby carrier! All three of my kids have loved being “worn” on my chest as babies, and I love keeping them close. I use my Ergobaby all the time to cook dinner, shop for groceries, and go on walks with the kids. I love keeping my babies close to my chest! But what we love the Ergobaby for the most is exploring! Hudson and Sadie asked to go outside and romp around in the snow, so I put Belle in the Ergobaby and we were off!

I love that with the Ergobaby, I have my hands free to help the other two kids, hold their hands, and just have fun! The Ergobaby Omni 360 Cool Air Mesh baby carrier fits babies and toddlers 7-45 pounds and supports a hip-healthy “M” shape position for baby’s comfort.

It has a breathable 3D air mesh panel to keep baby cool and the lumbar support and padded straps help it feel comfortable on me while I wear it.

It’s the most comfortable baby carrier I’ve ever used. My favorite position is front facing me, but I can also have Belle facing out, or put her on my hip or back. Sadie sometimes feels left out and asks to ride on my back…..so yes, I have my hands full!

Looks like a great carrier. Having the baby in the carrier looks comfortable; the added toddler on your back, not so much!!
It’s a good thing you are strong mama!
